Dai koyamada boulders smashed
June 30, 2018, 02:25:31 pm
excerpt from fanatic climbing

Stupor, sadness and misunderstanding are the feelings that animate the Japanese legend Dai Koyamada who had the bad surprise to discover this week that his boulder “Nayuta” 8C + opened in Gero in April 2017 had been vandalized. Indeed several hots of the boulder were destroyed, presumably by crowbar or hammer. The other passages like “Nehanna”  8C among others have also been damaged. Dai is especially dismayed because he had a great project on this piece of rock, “Natori”, also broken, a boulder that he considered a new level of difficulty higher than what had been established in Japan, and a challenge for future generations.

We notice that similar facts have been already whitnessed in France, in Fontainebleau with “The Alchemist” or with the traverse of “Scarabée” or in Chamonix with “Kaiser Sauzé”. Human stupidity has no border.

That really sucks. Dai's stuff and whole vibe seems so cool, doesn't deserve that.
